Not everything every brand does is going to be popular, and that’s okay. Brands need to take risks, they need to experiment with their products, that’s what keeps their point of view and brand direction fresh and exciting. Jordan Brand’s Lab series, that draws inspiration from one model to put on another, has caused a lot of contention between Jordan purists. When those fundamentalists see materials usually reserved for a Jordan V on a Jordan III, it can get confusing.
Today’s Kicks of the Day come directly from that world. The Jordan 4Lab1 uses the rubber mesh we’ve come to expect on the quarter of the Jordan IV as an all over upper on the Jordan I. It’s a bold look, and one that some have yet to warm up to. For that reason we found pairs of the Black and Teal pair on sale for approximately $126 at Hanon. You can grab them here.
